Upper Arlington’s Planned History

Upper Arlington began as a planned residential community inspired by the Country Club District in Kansas City. The village was incorporated in 1918 after growing to about 200 residents. Curving streets, landscaped medians, parks, and carefully designed neighborhoods shaped its early character.

South of Lane Avenue, Old Arlington includes many of the city’s oldest homes and streets. Buyers can find Tudor, Colonial Revival, English cottage, and other early 20th-century designs. Farther north, the housing becomes more varied and includes mid-century ranches, split-levels, larger two-story homes, condominiums, and newer custom construction.

Parks and Recreation

Northam Park is one of Upper Arlington’s main community hubs. Its 22 acres include athletic fields, tennis courts, a playground, walking paths, green space, and Tremont Pool. The park is next to the main library, Tremont Elementary School, and the Tremont Center area.

Fancyburg Park offers sports courts, playgrounds, paths, picnic shelters, and wooded scenery. Thompson Park includes athletic fields, trails, tennis courts, a playground, and open space. Mallway Park adds a small gathering place in Old Arlington with public art and community events.

Shopping, Dining, and Location

Lane Avenue provides restaurants, shops, and services close to Ohio State. Tremont Center is a long-standing neighborhood destination, while the Kingsdale area offers larger retail and dining choices. Grandview Heights, downtown Columbus, Dublin, and the Short North are also easy to reach.
